Premade teams are toxic for almost all soloque players.

Just about every premade I have come across is verbally toxic toward the soloque players on their team.

I queued up for a single /fsck'ing soloq game on NA and got placed with a Teemo and Draven who picked revive and ghost because they wanted to feed. Ten minutes in they were 0/11 and 0/13 respectively. I, any many many many other people want the option to make soloque an actual option.

GIVE US THE OPTION TO OPT OUT OF GETTING QUEUED WITH PREMADES.

Most the people on my friends list are people my premade groups played with and thought were cool. I doubt its a toxic experience most of the time.

As someone who exclusively plays soloque I assure you: premade teams tunnel vision their team mates, ignore the soloque players, and bully them throughout the game. Every single game I refresh the lolnexus website. About 70% of the time a premade is more toxic to a soloque player than a random bunch of soloque players.

I do believe that being in groups empowers some jerks to bully others, but I still think that 70% of ALL is exaggeration. 70% of the time that you notice a premade, or that they publicly announce it is much more accurate. In my experience these people that point it out are going to be toxic, and they give the rest of us a bad name.

I notice every game because all I have to do is hit f5 on the open Lolnexus site. 70% is a conservative estimate.

I actually have the exact opposite problem. I strive to remain positive and support my teammates no matter what, but I am thwarted by people's instinct to lash out at premades. I think it is because people only notice the premades that do cause problems, and the regular groups go unnoticed. I check LolNexus every game, and I haven't had a game where a premade group hasn't been involved. The problems created by a toxic few are harming the whole.

I hit refresh on the lolnexus website every game. I know when people are premade as well. As a conservative estimate from my experience, 70% of premades are either extra toxic to soloque players or are poorly matched with MMR.
